Deja Q

20,562 dwindled quickly. Long before the final buzzer ended the excruciating fourth quarter, fans were shaking their heads and heading to the exits. Bench points were minimal, Shaq caught the ball just outside of the optimal under-the-basket-and-plunk-it-in position, Anthony Parker showed promise and newness at the same time as an on-the-money pass from LB bounced off his head and into the stands. OK, maybe it didn't bounce off his head but you get the point. Joe Tait declared Anthony Parker the recipient of a critical lesson - when LeBron is on the floor, the ball may arrive with little notice and great force.
